Re: Stroked R16

The manual indicates max horsepower and torque at 6,000 rpm. Six thousand rpm 
is where the
"Yellow Zone" starts on the tachometer dial - 7,000 rpm is the "Red Zone" 
starts - and I
quote from page 2: "It is no good for the engine to drive constantly in the 
yellow shaded
area. Do not race up the revolutions up to the red shaded area."
